As hospital security rushed down the corridor to restrain a screaming Vanessa, Liam held Chloe close, his heart hammering against his ribs.
"Are you okay? Is the baby okay?"he pleaded, his eyes scanning his wife for any signs of injury. Chloe nodded weakly, her hand still trembling as she pointed toward her purse, which had spilled its contents across the polished floor during the struggle.

"Don't look at that, Liam! She's lying! She's trying to destroy this family!"Vanessa shrieked, her face turning as bright red as her orange dress.
Suspicion mounting, Liam reached out and picked up the envelope. He pulled out a stack of bank statements and official legal documents. As his eyes scanned the pages, the horrific truth began to dawn on him.

There were hundreds of thousands of dollars transferred directly into Vanessa's personal accounts.
Chloe wiped her tears, her voice shaky but clear.
"I found them this morning in her apartment, Liam. She didn't want you to know. Your mother isn't getting better because Vanessa has been withholding the money for her treatments. She's been stealing from her own dying mother."Liam stared at his sister, his world shattering.

And now, she had almost killed his unborn child to keep her secret safe.
